Blocked ducts

My son is 5 months old now and the last couple months I've had quite a few blocked ducts and mastitis once. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent this from continuing to happen? I am also a runner and am wondering if this is having something to do with them blocking all the time. Please help!

Re: Blocked ducts

My first thought is your bra. A poor-fitting bra can contribute to blocked ducts. Underwire bras are particularly notorious, though compression-style bras (like many athletic bras) can be at fault, too.
